Pope Leo XIV urged the public to pray for “the common good” to be reached in the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

The pope issued his call on Sunday morning, one day before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will travel to the White House to meet with President Donald Trump. Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Trump in Alaska on Friday, which Trump hailed as a “very successful day” but that did not result in a ceasefire or peace deal.
